Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Tr 150V 60A Solar Charge Controller — Bluetooth, Fast MPPT Tracking

Victron Energy SmartSolar MPPT Tr 150V 60A is a high-performance maximum power point tracking solar charge controller that efficiently converts panel output and delivers up to 60A to charge batteries from PV arrays up to 150V.

Built for off-grid and hybrid solar systems, this SmartSolar MPPT Tr controller combines fast MPPT tracking, robust thermal design, and smart connectivity to maximize energy harvest from PV modules. It supports higher PV open-circuit voltages up to 150V for longer cable runs and larger arrays, and it features built-in Bluetooth and remote monitoring compatibility through Victron’s ecosystem. The unit is designed to prioritize battery health and charging speed while adapting to changing sunlight conditions.

How does this MPPT controller increase solar energy harvest?

The SmartSolar uses advanced maximum power point tracking algorithms to find and hold the PV array’s optimal power point as irradiance and temperature change. Faster tracking and high conversion efficiency reduce energy losses so more watts reach your batteries.

• High-speed MPPT algorithm for rapid adaptation to cloud and shading conditions
• Supports PV array voltages up to 150V to extract more power from larger strings
• Conversion optimized to minimize heat and power dissipation

What protection and thermal features keep the controller reliable?

The Tr variant is engineered for durability: robust heat sinking, temperature sensing, and automatic power regulation protect internal components during sustained high loads. Built-in protections prevent overcurrent, overtemperature, and reverse polarity events.

• Thermal management with heat sink design and temperature-based current limiting
• Overload and short-circuit protection to safeguard wiring and batteries
• Reverse polarity and PV input protection for safe installation

How does connectivity work and what monitoring options are available?

Integrated Bluetooth enables local monitoring via the VictronConnect app, while compatibility with the Victron ecosystem allows remote data logging and system management when paired with a GX device or Venus OS router. This gives visibility into real-time performance and historical production.

• Built-in Bluetooth for phone/tablet configuration and live graphs
• VE.Direct and network interfaces for system integration and remote access
• Data logging compatibility with Victron GX devices for cloud monitoring

What are the installation and sizing considerations?

Choose the controller if your PV array open-circuit voltage is within 150V and your battery charging current needs are up to 60A. Mount it where air can flow over the heatsink, and size DC cabling and fuses to the expected charging current and system voltage.

• Suitable for systems requiring up to 60A charging at 12/24/36/48V batteries
• Install with adequate ventilation and correct orientation for thermal performance
• Use appropriately rated DC wiring and overcurrent protection per system design

Who is this for? The Victron SmartSolar MPPT Tr 150V 60A is aimed at installers and system owners who need a compact, high-efficiency MPPT solution for medium to large off-grid or hybrid PV systems that require higher PV input voltages and reliable, intelligent charging. It fits boats, RVs, cabins, and residential solar installations where fast tracking, solid thermal management, and seamless Victron monitoring are required. Choose this model when you want to maximize charge speed and system visibility without sacrificing protection or expandability.
